Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the forgotten history of a once-powerful Hindu empire in Southern India, known as Vijayanagar. Established in the 14th century as a bulwark against the encroaching Islamic sultanates of the north, Vijayanagar grew to dominate a vast territory encompassing much of the Deccan plateau and extending to the southern tip of the Indian subcontinent.ÃÂ The author meticulously reconstructs the empire's rise and fall, drawing on a diverse range of sources, including chronicles from Portuguese travellers, accounts of Muslim historians, and inscriptions left behind by the Vijayanagara rulers themselves. This multifaceted approach provides a rich tapestry of perspectives on the empire's political landscape, its vibrant culture, and the remarkable city at its heart.ÃÂ Readers will be transported to a bygone era of grand palaces, bustling bazaars, and magnificent temples, gaining insights into the lives of the Vijayanagara kings, their military exploits, and the intricate social fabric of their realm. The book also explores the complex interplay between Vijayanagar and the neighbouring Islamic sultanates, highlighting the ongoing struggle for power and the eventual decline of the empire in the 16th century.ÃÂ Ultimately, this book sheds light on a crucial chapter in Indian history, revealing the enduring legacy of a forgotten empire and its impact on the cultural and political landscape of the region.
